. I just couldn’t connect with Ida. Right from the very start, she rubbed me the wrong way.I’m old fashioned. I don’t have anything wrong with women working or doing well in business, but women with the a-woman-can-do-anything-a-man-can-do-and-probably-better attitude turn me off.
Never good when the main character annoys you. Hard to get past that.
I read Mona’s first book in this series, Two Brides Too Many
, quite awhile ago, but couldn’t remember Mollie O’Bryan’s character. This also made me feel lost, as I really wasn’t sure what her ‘business’ was. So…I had no idea what in the world Ida was doing every day. I just felt like I was forcing myself to turn the next page, and only got about 2/3 of the way through the book.
Just because I struggled to like the main character, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t enjoy Too Rich for a Bride
. The book has a nice western feel, along with a likeable landlady, two protective sisters, and two men vying for Ida’s hand – which one is the good guy, bad guy, right guy, wrong guy for her? All the right components for a great story – it just fell flat for me.Don't forget to connect with A Cooking Bookworm!
